Process for producing pellets of soft copolymers

摘要

The present invention deals with a process for producing pellets from olefin copolymers. The process comprises: (i) melting the olefin copolymer in an extruder; (ii) extruding the molten olefin copolymer through a die plate into a pellet water bath in a pelletiser thereby producing strands of the olefin copolymer; (iii) cutting the strands of the olefin copolymer in the pelletiser into pellets; and (iv) drying the pellets. The pellet water in the pelletiser contains from 0.1 to 5 % by weight of a colloidal silica based on the weight of the water
